Latest on MJJC

Right, where is WBSS, went to JT on Friday night

maybe. still, u cant gloss over the fact that he is successful. his records sell. his concerts sell. he can draw in a crowd. his talent (or lack of it. hahaha! )is recognized by award giving bodies such as the Grammy's.

now, if u use Michael's success as the barometer .. then he is definitely wanting. no one can equal or come near what MJ has achieved. not in this lifetime:p.

give props to the man, Timberlake. Media hype or not, he has proven he is not a flash in the pan :p
 
He's a tool. He's made by the media and the industry and he's controled by them as well. He's one of those acts that the media and industry created to make as much money out of as possible and then, when he starts getting demanding, they'll be able to easily replace him. About 99% of the industry "artists" today are that way. Common talent means easily dismissed and easily replaced.

True, most people can do SOMETHING, lol. Not always something useful. And then of course there are those unfortunate individuals who have no talent in anything at all, tsk, tsk. LOL.

again, i say maybe. at least u acknowledge the fact that the media has the power to create:p but success is a combination of a lot of things. one has to hit the right combination to be able to make it.

Take the American Idol, for example...every winner is a creation of media. all reality shows are. but, not everyone makes it to stardom. William Hung from season 2 (i think) received so much media attention not bec. of his talent but bec. of the spectacle he made of himself singing Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" (remember the cringe inducing moment? ugh!). hell, he even landed a record and a tv ad! do you se him now?

what m saying is Timberlake has the X-factor that hit it off with the audience. Not all artist has "it". And I say, that the "it" factor is basically sustaining his popularity.

talent is not the only thing going for an artist. One has to make a connection with his audience. this is what Ne-yo,Akon,JT etc have. That is something media cannot create
 
Charisma in itself is a talent. Being able to grab and hold on to people's attention, to mesmerize them, that's a talent. Justin causes some hystaria, but he doesn't astound you or leave you spell bound. That's what real charisma does.

Justin has a good voice. Not a great voice, but he is marginally talented, that combined with the pushing of him by the media and his record label is what makes him successful. He is hardly captivating. He's the opposite. And he isn't phenomenally successful, he's sold less albums then Michael's last album, and he's in his prime while they claim Michael is washed up.

Justin isn't a super star, no one today is.
 
a few of his songs sound really good live.... the backing anyway, but his voice doesn't holdup well, IMO.

His dancing looks very structured..... also not a fan of the strippers on stage, dancing is also about a bit of class to me.

this has gone into a long drawn argument *sigh* ur using michael as ur yardstick.no wonder poor boy Timberlake couldnt measure up to ur standard:p

cut some slack for the man:p nobody will ever reach MJ's status
 
Naw, I'm just using the established standards in each field, Michael reaches that standard and being so talented has himself even raised it, resulting in the standard having to be lowered for todays acts, simply because no one else has ever had such a high quality of talent in so many areas as does Michael, so in order to compete, they have to forgo quality for quantity. Why not use the standard when its there? Afterall, that's what its there for. To be used, so you can determine the value of a thing.
